hmm, second life certainly lives up to its name!
i'm glad that people in MMO's can, and do, this sort of thing.

Or will it be defaced?

I am still waiting for the people to come in hear and talk about how this disrupts their gaming experience. Of course this is only Second Life and not WoW.

/b/ senses, tingling.....

This seems to be a reoccuring event on SL. Memorials for real life folks. It interesting to see the gaming community do this, and I expect we will see more like this and other features in the future on here and other games.

I think this is a much better political use of SL than any of the campaigning garbage that's been going around.

I wonder if there's some way that "Second Security" could be arranged to prevent it from being defaced. LL might want to look into that as a future service if it doesn't already exist.

How in the world does someone pull a Godwin in an article such as this?

@BlackIce

I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a memorial to Hitler already there.

I was greatly upset to hear of her death. I had high hopes for her in the future, and they were all dashed in a matter of minutes. This is a start, but I can only hope this kind of thing continues. Hopefully, she can help the people of Pakistan in death. If only a little.

@ Billy

I think he means "Godwin's rule". Which basically states that in any thread or conversation on the internet someone will eventually refer to Hitler or Nazi Germany. It may well be on topic, like in a topic about World War II or survivors of the Holocaust, but it will happen. The longer it goes, the more definite it becomes.

What people have lost sight of in light of recent events is that Benazir Bhutto was not the hero the world media rushed to depict her as.
The reality is she was just as corrupt as Musharraf having being caught out for corruption continually during her political life before going into self-imposed exile.

I just point this out so people do not forget that she was no hero, she was merely the lesser of two evils.
